here's the NOTE that was in the project description ( did you not read it )

NOTE: Make sure you fill in your postal address details into the Pozible system AFTER the PayPal transaction (don't just close your browser once payment is complete). You can't rely on your PayPal address. No Pozible address = no boards!

999% $24,978 - 30 hours to go, Dave could you post a picture of the corner of the EEVBLOG LAB where I assume you will be sleeping from now on, after SWMBO kicks you out. Thirty more hours still to run, that's going to be more than 10,000 urulers to envelope stuff.I wouldn't want to be in your shoes, talk about a simple little throw away promo object going viral.

Why on earth do Pozible not either ask you for these details before going to Paypal, or integrate better with Paypal to extract the address?

Wow, µRulers were far more wanted than Dave expected. Should Dave have put 25,000 to original target, and start an industry around rulers , but then EEVblog would probably suffer.BTW, could deal be made with post office to get cheaper shipping and no need to lick so many stamps? Like we have envelopes printed with"<company> will pay postage" where stamp would be. If address and "stamp" were just printed to envelope, job would be two times faster and easier.

Here you can drop at the post office with a box of envelopes, pay the postage and they will print the "stamps" on the envelopes using a specific machine...

Dave, I hope you checked with the post office that it's ok to send PCBs as letters (some may classify that stuff as parcel)... anyway, that's "printed matter" after all, just on fiberglass instead of cellulose fiber

Time to put the entire family to work . Maybe you can make a video of the sweatshop afterwards

Having done 1000+ CDs with instructions in the post multiple times, it should not be too bad. Trick is to print the labels separately for the 2 and 5 rulers. This saves you from having to use your brain when stuffing the envelopes. Stuff all the 2 ruler and then the 5 ruler envelopes. Then stick on the appropriate labels. We often scab a few mail bags from the post office before hand. (For some reason most mail bags in Ireland have "Royal mail" on them, complements of those detained at Her Majesty's pleasure.) When drop the lot at the local post office and get them to frank them. No extra charge once your have 500+. Now, the problem with this is they have sat for a few days in a back room before they got around to doing them. If we want them to go fast we stamp them ourselves and drive around to a few post boxes, filling them up. The reason for going to post boxes, rather than directly to the post office is a very old law (which may well be the same in Oz) which I believe states the boxes must be emptied the letters processed each night. There is no such requirement for bags left at the post office.

The success of this campaign says a lot about the general state of availability of decent rulers. It's quite hard to find a good one these days - especially at that price. The PCB-centric gauges and tables are just icing on the cake.

I can't be the only one who actually will use theirs (as opposed to just joining the campaign out of altruism).

I intend to store a few of mine for safe keeping, to have around for EEVBlog forum photography. I have a suspicion they will end up being the standard scale indicator around here sometime in the very near future.

The rest I will use as rulers. Really like the fact that they are very thin.

I will certainly use it, and maybe give away one or two to friends. I just hope that my address was not f*cked up too much because I did not understand the strange way Pozible asked for it...

You can change it at any time. I assume Dave will get all of the addresses at the close of the project.

Pozible's website is very confusing, though. There is no Addressee field for shipping. I guess it is just going to use the user's login name. Naturally I didn't use my full name as my login. I'm sure I'll get it still.

Also, the "Notifications & Preferences" options couldn't be more confusing. The options of "Off" or "On" are not clear at all. What does "Do not share my email address with the projects I support == Off" mean, exactly? WTF?
